Ok, so I am a late entry here.... found myself missing Live Journal and needing a place where I felt I could safely vent. Trying to find friends and find my way here.

I am having a week that has been making me kinda sad and I don't like it. A friend died of cancer - she and I were not even all that tight, but it has been hitting me hard and I am out of sorts. I also received an unbelievably disappointing royalty check from my publisher, was rejected by a different publisher, and now I am kind of questioning my existence. A sweet student gave me a beautiful hand drawn sympathy card and I ugly cried in my office.

So yeah. This is my first post.
